Chapter 144 Run, Shoot the Condor
"On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the buses stopped, and I still had to go to work, so I really wanted to die. I'm really sorry, I'm sorry for you to come all this way to pick me up, I'm afraid I'm going to be late together. ”
"It's okay, it's the first day of junior high school, it's okay to go late. I used to be on duty for the New Year, and I was busy with New Year's greetings this morning, and I usually didn't buy books until the afternoon. ”
"That's right. By the way, I have been working shifts these days, resting at home, and I heard that the store "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was sold a few days ago?"
"That's right, let me tell you, this book is really good for his grandmother. I didn't believe it when the Internet was so lively before, but after I got the goods, I couldn't help but be curious, pop, the bad food, and I couldn't pull out my eyes anymore! I haven't done anything in the past few days, so I just look at this, oops, I see that I want to die, I can't stop it!"
"Really? My mischievous brother whispered in his ear half a month ago, saying that he would leave him a complete set no matter what, saying that as long as he has a set of "Shooting the Condor" in hand, he will have nothing to ask for in the next half a year, and he must grit his teeth and clench his fists to fight for a college!"
"The young man has ambition. According to my estimate, there will be no fewer people who come to buy "Condor Shooting" today. ”
“…… Are we going to be late?"
"Not really. I have said that there are many people who buy books and read books on the first day of junior high school, but most of them are in the afternoon, and when it is close to noon, there are some children who have received New Year's money after worshipping the New Year...... I'm rubbing, what's going on?!"
The two bookstore staff were chatting when the car turned around and came to the bookstore.
On the side of the road, a few piles of debris from firecrackers that had been roared last night were cleaned up by the cleaners. It's not time to remove it yet.
In the open space square between the debris, a few lines are not too long. But the total number of people added up to a team of nearly 100 people. In fact, it's not a queue, everyone is just standing in a scattered position. Waiting together to chat happily. Most of the young people are dressed in new and fashionable clothes, showing the festive atmosphere of the Spring Festival everywhere. Among them, there are also a few children who look like elementary school students, wearing brand new clothes and shoes, jumping around happily there.
It's a sunny winter day. Early in the morning, the sun has not yet come out, and the temperature is close to freezing.
But even though it was outside, everyone had a good chat. Obviously, I didn't expect to meet so many like-minded people, and it was a festive New Year, but no one showed too much impatience.
waited until they saw two staff members wearing bookstore overalls stop and stopped, and the whole crowd gathered a little and consciously gathered at the door of the bookstore from the previous scattered state.
The two staff members raised their wrists to look at their watches, glanced at each other, and walked over stubbornly, ready to open the store at the same time. I am also ready to welcome everyone's denunciation and complaints, after all, I am indeed late today, and I am nearly twenty minutes late. The staff member who drove the car lowered his head and opened the door, and the one who rubbed the car was Xiaoyuan. Hurriedly turned around and apologized:
"Happy New Year, everyone! I'm sorry ......."
However, it was much more than the two of them expected. Everyone greeted them happily and sincerely:
"Out of the way. It's the New Year. All understood. ”
"yes, we've just arrived. I had a good chat and made new friends. ”
"Happy New Year, both of you. ”
"You two are working hard. I have to come to work for the Chinese New Year. ”
"Yes. Your leaders will have to raise their salaries. Otherwise, we will not depend on him!"
Although the words are simple and simple, not sensational, but in such a winter morning, you say a word to me, accompanied by the white heating exhaled in front of the smiling faces, but the two staff who were still dissatisfied with coming to work are warm all over their bodies, and the whole unpleasant depression in their hearts disappears in an instant.
Madoka was curious: "Everyone is here to buy ...... "Shooting the Condor"?"
The crowd laughed and nodded. Between the smiles, there is a self-evident and like-minded meaning.
At this time, Xiao Fang had already opened the door of the store, and while letting everyone in, he hurriedly said: "Actually, you don't have to come so early, it's not too late to come back after the New Year." Unlike when "Capital News" was serialized, the inventory of the physical book of "Shooting the Condor" is definitely very large. Guaranteed to anyone can buy ......"
"You misunderstood, we are just going to buy a set and bring it over for New Year's greetings. ”
"That's right, now those nutritional products are too vulgar, and the old people don't like them, it's good to buy a set of "Shooting the Condor"!"
"The old man at home loves to read it, and the newspaper was inconvenient at the beginning, so I read a few copies unevenly, but I didn't read them all, and I regretted that I kept chattering. After buying all six volumes, Zhun Bao was happier than saying anything auspicious. ”
Xiao Fang and Xiao Yuan were stunned together, and then Xiao Fang grabbed a child who bypassed him and jumped straight to the "Condor" counter, and said: "Children, you can also understand "Condor Shooting"?!"
"I don't understand. ”
The child shook his head decisively, then snapped his fingers and said, "But my grandfather likes to read it, and he has every newspaper." My mother asked me to come over and buy a physical book of "Condor Shooting", and then take it to my grandparents for New Year's greetings. My mother calculated for me, and the six books were discounted by 200 yuan, and when I brought them to my grandparents, I was sure that the red envelopes would rise from 500 to 1,000 in previous years. My mom said, this is called, this is called 'small to big'. ”
“……”
The day passed quickly, and throughout the day, there was an endless stream of people who came to buy "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and Xiao Fang Xiaoyuan never understood why two-thirds of the bookstores in the city could be closed between the first and third days of junior high school, but his own store manager would rather pay five times the overtime salary than insist on changing shifts without closing, and finally understood at this moment.
What is the sales record of the number of books in a single day, and what is the sales record of the total yards of foreign sales in a single day...... has been completely numbed by the refresh of "Shooting the Condor".
After a ten-minute delay in closing, the last group of book buyers were sent away, and after hanging a "closed" sign in front of the store, the two began to clean up. When I cleaned up the last corner, I found that there was an old gentleman with gray hair squatting here.
The old gentleman held the three, four, or five volumes of "Shooting the Condor" tightly in his arms, holding the second volume in his hand like a treasure, and the first volume that had been turned over next to him, as if he had seen some tense and exciting plot, and he didn't even hear the announcement of the closure of business......
"Old sir. Sorry, it's time for us to get off work. Come back tomorrow!"
"Now, after work, is your bookstore still open at noon?"
"Medium, noon?!" Xiao Yuan was stupid and inhaled the cold air: "Old man, you have been here since the morning? You haven't eaten lunch! It's almost half past six in the evening!"
"Ah?!" The old gentleman was stunned, then stood up suddenly, looked up at the clock on the wall, looked up at the twilight outside the window, was stunned for half a minute, and then slapped his thigh and shouted: "Ah, it's broken! The little grandson is still at home, and he came out in the morning to buy him a comic book, and when he saw that there were many people here, they were all buying this book, and he was curious to turn it over, and what happened, why did he forget the jì time all of a sudden! It's broken, it's broken, and no one cooks for him at noon!"
"Huh?!"
Xiao Fang Xiaoyuan was also dumbfounded.
Xiao Fang smacked his tongue: "Uncle, what do you mean, you haven't heard of this "Legend of the Condor Heroes" before?"
"Haven't heard of it. But it's pretty. When I look at it, it's like a demon who is stunned, I don't know how hungry I am, I don't know how thirsty I am, and my habit of having half a life left without a lunch break is gone!
As he spoke, the old gentleman suddenly said hurriedly: "Oh, what are you talking to me! Why don't you hurry up and help me get a whole set of this book." I'm waiting to get home, I can't be hungry for dinner, right?"
"Oooh oh. Xiao Fang hurriedly sorted it out, and then looked around, and found that the sixth volume was sold out, and if he wanted to, he had to go to the warehouse to get it, so he said: "Uncle, I'm sorry, I have to go to the warehouse to get the sixth volume, it takes about half an hour to come back and forth, why don't you come back tomorrow......"
The old gentleman glared: "What day is tomorrow? Hurry up and take it! Uncle, I'm going to watch it tonight!"
Xiao Yuan exchanged a look with Xiao Fang, then pointed to the wall clock on the wall, and kindly reminded: "Uncle, look at this time, the little grandson's dinner has not yet been settled......
The old gentleman rolled his eyes: "Nonsense, hurry up and take it away!" Uncle, at my house, bread, milk, ham sausage, instant noodles, apples, and eight-treasure porridge, you name it!"
